yay!

brought to you in the spirit of 'next mood swing in 5...4...3...'

Vicki Bayless, who I 'met' on Knitters' Review, just e-mailed me to let me know that she sent out one of her spare ball-winders to me. In return, I'm knitting her some socks - no details posted here on the slim chance she might happen across the blog - I want them to be a surprise. (I guess it's time to start back working on them).

now that I have a swift, and a ball-winder on the way, there's no stopping me. Koigu. Lorna's Laces. Whole sweaters'-worths of lovely wonderful yarn that comes in hanks and I have to wind it off. No more giving myself hand cramps trying to hand wind a ball. No more getting little round soccer balls of yarn that roll all over the floor and pick up hair and dust and indescribable mung...yeah, it doesn't take much to make me happy.
